Can't set default browser [SOLVED]

Hi, I'm running GNOME-Shell (I wasn't sure if this belongs to testing forum or not), and I want Opera to be my default browser.
As for DE, I changed  gconf-editor>desktop>gnome>url-handlers>http and https to "opera %s". Nothing happened.
As for Arch itself, i added "opera" here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ch … lt_browser
Nothing happened, my default is still Firefox. Any other solution?

Re: Can't set default browser [SOLVED]

due to gnome3 being in testing this belongs into testing forum.

you can change default apps in system settings > system information > default apps (do not know english label, because my shell is in german).

Well yes, but I wasn't sure if this was gnome-related

Thanks, this works. But I'd have sworn that I checked this menu before and Opera wasn't one of the choices.
Solved.
